Bio
Hi, I'm really glad you decided to reach out to me here! I will work really hard to ensure that I am open, honest, helpful, and compassionate. I am physically disabled and I have struggled for the past five years to come to terms with my disability. In particular I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome - a connective tissue disorder that prevents my collagen from forming correctly. It causes a lot of various symptoms but mainly dislocations - all of my joints are loose and I have trouble getting around without braces. I know that as a disabled person, sometimes it's important to talk with someone who has a sense of what it is to be limited. I enjoy reading, writing, painting, knitting, and cross stitching. I look forward to getting to know you, and I hope I can make you feel cared for. Thank you for having the courage to reach out to others, I hope you find solace here. At the moment I am a fourth year PhD Candidate so I unfortunately do not have a lot of time to spend as a listener. Therefore, I do not take regular members but rather hold chats that will last one session. I'm sorry for this inconvenience. I'm happy to communicate with an individual more than once, but cannot build a concrete schedule for appointments on a weekly basis.

The best listener I talked to so far! Caring, thoughtful, kind and able to provide wise advice. She can mildly push you to the correct way of thinking... An adorable person!
Very nice and considerate. I am 45 and she is much younger but she was still able to provide a great listening experience.
Sweetheart. Will be talking with her again soon

The heart that opened for me, embracing me, warming me. The hands that wiped my tears, and drew a smile on my face. The person that reminded me, that the sun is still there, and it will shine the next day, no matter how dark is the night.

An amazing person to talk to. Made me feel relate able and happy again. It is hard to describe someone without resorting to flowery words when they make you feel so happy.
She's really professional and caring, I felt I was talking with an old friend
